The first thing I would do is measure how many amps the incandescent lights in the coach use. Then look for a decoder that can handle that amount of amperage. I don’t know if Loksound makes a decoder that doesn’t have motor control. These types of decoders are called stationary decoders. Obviously, you won’t need sound. I know other companies other than Loksound make stationary decoders. Also you have to take into account if there will be a place to put the decoder so decoder physical size may be an issue.
By the way, I like your idea. Good luck with it.
